B.—The Australian cabinet headed by William Morris Hughes has resigned, according to a Reuter's dispatch from Melbourne. Frank G. Tudor, labor leader, has been summoned to form a new min istry. Since the defeat of the govern ment's conscription bill in Australia, it has been reported that Premier Hughes probably would resign. On the defeat of the conscription bill in November, 1916, Premier Hughes tendered the resignation of the cabi net. A, new cabinet, however, was formed with Hughes as premier. Last fall he again brought up a conscrip tion bill and in the election shortly before Christmas conscription was defeated by a majority greater than in 1916. The majority against con scription was nearly 200,000, Aus tralian soldiers giving a majority against the bill. Frank G. Tudor was minister of trades and customs in the Fisher <abinet which resigned in the spring of 1909. School Teachers Demand Increased Salary or Threaten Resignation Gloucester ,N. J., Jan. S. —A strike of loca! school teachers is threat ened unless a demand for an in crease in salary of $lO a month is granted. Thirty-four teachers met' to-day and presented their ulti matum to the board of education.

BRITISH SPEECH SHOWS WEAKNESS [Continued from First Page.] a tone in regard to us which is In deed changed, but the old imperial istic aims are wholly maintained. The Bri'ish Premier Relies liis first declaration that he does not desire the destruction of German/ by his subsequent statement that he wishes to detach Alsace-Lorraine in<l give to Poland portions of Prussian torri-1 tory in the east. Despite assurances to the cor>Uaiy. he also wishes to; rob A,.stria Hungary and Turkey."! The I.oital Anzeiger: "Under u flow of phrases is ap- j parent rhe old desire to sma'ih Ger-i matiy's power forever and safeguard England's power forever. The an swer to this will be spoken by our armies in the west and by our Ü boats." t Terms Not Acceptable The Frankfurter Zeitung says: "Only a defeated Germany could think of negotiating on the terms laid down by Lloyd George. It is a new war speech and a way to term inate the war will only be open when the movement which has begun in England and other entente countries is strong enough to replace Lloyd George. Clemenceau and Baron Son nino by men who recognize the im possible nature of such speeches and draw consequences from such recog nition." The N'achricliten of Dusseldorf says: "The main point of the speech is that Lloyd George binds Great Britain to tight to the last breath for! Alsace-Lorraine. We do not believe, however, that the British people will fight to the last breath for this war aim. "There is no Alsace-Lorraine ques tion for us and the speech cannot, therefore, aim at promoting peace with us. It was intended to throw suspicion on the negotiations at Brest-Litovsk. The sword alone can convince this enemy and make him ready for peace." . Bolslteviki Attack Allies There is no indication thus far of the manner in which Premier Lloyd George's definition of war aims lias been received in Russia, or even whether his speech has been pub lished there. The Bolshevikl press of Petrograd continues to attack Great Britain and her allies. BRirts i PRESS SOLID BEHIND LLOYD GF.ORGE Lo idcn, Jai:. B.—lf the country's opinion, as is probable in the prc-s-' cut case, cat. be judged by expres- I sions 'n the I.ondon press, it may le said that never before has Premier Lloyd Geor6t won such universal approval as is given to his rtaument of Saturday concerning Great Brit ain's war aims. It is recognized that there will be a divergence of opinion on deti tlr like the economical tern of setlement and disposition of Ger many's African colonies, but in till essentials his statement is nailed as] eminently satisfactory and the Prcm- j ier is dcclatd to have performed u | most important service to the: country. All interest now is focus-ad| on the question as to how '.lie state-; n.ent will be received in Germany, i AUotria- Hungary and, not the l?nsi, in Russia. t M'MKXt'KAI' FELICITATES I.LOYD GEORGE OX SPEECH Premier Clemenceau, a dispatch from France says, has sent thH mes sage to Premier Lloyd George: "With my most hearty congratu lations I hasten to send you those of the French nation, those at the front and in the interior, for the admirable speech the truth that one happily stated the truth that one! must never become weary of oppos ing the Germans." I. S APPROVES BRITISH WAR AIMS London, Jan. B.—Premier Lloyd George, according to the Daily Mail, has received a most cordial tele gram from President Wilson and Hie American government congratulat ing the premier on the speech he! made Saturday expressing Great Britain's war aims. Germany Thrown Into Political Tarmoil by Annexation Problem By Associated Press London. Jan. B.—A reply from the central powers to the statement of British war alms made by Premier Lloyd George Saturday is awaited here with the greatest interest. It is believed Germany and her allies can not decline to reply in some form and to make the reply more straightfor ward and definite than any previous statement of their aims. Political Turmoil But if the German papers correctly mirror the situation there, the test which the Bolsheviki have made ot Germany's attitude toward the prin ciple of no annexations has thrown Germany into political turmoil. Ad vices from the capitals of neutral countries bordering on Germany show that the opinion prevalent there Is that one of the most severe national crises in the history of Germany is developing as a result of the differ ence of views between the militarist and nonmilitarist leaders regarding the government's attitude toward Russia. It is reported generally that General Von Ludendorff, leader of the former group, actually has gone so fax as to threaten the resignation of himself and Field Marshal Van Hin denburg if further countenance be given even to such views as those advanced by men of the type of Dr. Von Kuehlmann and Count Czernin, the German and Austrian foreign ministers. Kali to Matlafy Socialist* ' At the same time the view of Von Kuehlmann and Czernin fail to sat isfy the German Socialists, who re gard their middle-of-the-road policy as trickery and who are determined that the spirit of the Reichstag reso lution must be followed sincerely and without qualification or reserve. Neutral observers declare that the gap between the German parties sud denly has become a chasm so. wide that there is little hope of bridging it, and that the development of an in ternal crisis of serious proportions seems inevitable. On the other hand It is pointed out that the various parties In entente countries never appeared so com pletely united as in their support of the war aims formulated by Premier Lloyd George.

IA(V)IkSGOQ6moI VARIETY BILL OF VAUDEVILLE | Majestic Program Includes an Entertaining Acrobatic Offering There is no act on the Majestic bill for the first half of the which has enough originality and entertain ing features to be called a headliner, and while there are some good parts in the variety offering, better artists have appeared at the theater this season. \ i Pope and Uno, a dog and his master, do an unusual turn for a trained ani mal skit. To teach one dog enough tricks to entertain for lifteen minutes is a difficult task, and the audience showed its appreciation of the suc cess of the trainer, and O'Con r.er, a song and dance pair, have noth ing exceptional to offer, and the ap plause was an indication of the fact. "Wedding Shells," the musical "comedietta," as it is billed, is another of the usual kind being attempted in vaudeville Judging from the last lew which have appeared here it would be wiser for the originators of .some of these musical comedies if they would not attempt to create laughter by using military discipline as the subject of the joke. Give Me the Kight to Love You All the While, was the only musical number that was presented well. Wood, Melville and Phillips are a lively trio in song and comedy num bers and succeeded in getting the most applause. Sylvester and Forster, in tumbling tricks, keep up continuous laughter with a series ot comic falls. Whether or not it was intentional is a question, but the clown acrobat gave a fair impersonation of Harry Lau der's walk, when the Scochman ap pears on the stage. MAX ROBERTSON.

Year in and year out, the success of his song program has made him de clare that the basis of America's na tional music must be in the negro melodies which arise on the planta tion, the old-fashioned heart songs, such as were composed by Foster and his associates, and their present-day prototypes. To-day there is raging in the highest music circles a warm de bate, started by the eminent critic, Hiram Kelly Moderwell, who wrote an article insisting that this American folk music was only awaiting the hand of a genius like that of Wagner to transform it into national Ameri can classics. Of the list of negro melodies and heart songs which Mr. Kelly mentioned as examples, all but two have at various times been on the program of the Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels. This season, when nation alism is the talk of the hour, the Field song program is the most rep resentative he has ever offered, and has an especial appeal. It includes such hits as "Good-By, Little Girl, Good 13y. Die Sunshine of Your Smile," "All the World Will be Jealous of Me," "When Grandma Sings the Songs She Loves," "Old Black Joe," "Silver Threads Among the Gold," "Dear Old Georgia." "There's Someone More Lonesome Than You," etc. The Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels will appear at the Orpheum Theater to-night and to-morrow, matinee and night. "Mary's Ankle." the successful farce comedy by May Tully, A. H. Woods will present at the Orpheum "Mry' for a return engagement Ankle" Saturday, matinee and night, with the critical ap proval of no less an authority than Alan Dale. Mr. Dale, writing about it in the New York American, declar ed that he found in it amusement, fresh situations and droll dialog. "Mary's Ankle" was one of the first of the current season's metropolitan suc cesses that enjoyed a run of three months at the Bijou and Thirty-ninth Street Theaters, New York. Miss Tul ly's comedy is a gay and unusually umusing farcical romance, involving three very poor young men and one very charming young lady. The young lady herself is interested in only one of the young men, .but all three were concerned in the' daring and original scheme that brought them together. The play is strikingly ori ginal in plot, abounds iit amusing situations, and contains as crisp dia log as has been hoard on the stpge in many seasons. A feature of the splen did production which Mr. Woods has given the piece is the effective third act set on board a steamship sailing down New York Bay. The brilliant company that will interpret the piece includes: Miss Winifred St. Claire/ Lou Fullerton, Fred C. House.

What could be more pathetic than for any man to lose his right to call the United States his "A Man home and what greater Without a punishment could be Country" at meted out to any man the Victoria who said that "he never wanted to hear of the United States again," than for him to be placed upon a ship and never per mitted to see his renounced country again. Such was the punishment pre scribed for Philip Nolan in Edward Everett Hale's immortal American classic, "A Man Without a Country," now being shown for the last times at the Victoria to-day. It is without doubt one of the most powerful pieces of literature ever written and it is also one of the most convincing pic tures ever produced..
